CLARIFICATIONS TO QUERIES RAISED BY VARIOUS VENDORS :

1.

All circuit breakers are confirmed as 3P

2.

All starters are SFU/MCCB. HPCL has already conveyed that fuse failure
relay in case of SFU / short circuit trip indication in case of MCCB, to be
provided in NO contact form for status to DCS/RTU panel.

3.

Transducers are not required

4.

The Control Voltage (derived from Control PT) for Starters: The control
voltage in MCC is 230 V AC, for PCC it is 110V DC

5.

Tin Plating is required only for the Earth Bus.

6.

Load manager is not required or not.

7.

Marshalling Terminal box is required or not. M/s. HPCL confirmed that a

separate compartment which has all the terminals brought out is not required
and that the individual compartments should accommodate the corresponding
terminals.

8.

27 R as per ANSI code is for Residual Under Voltage protection and is

required as per Standard specification attached along with the tender.

9.

The serial number discrepancy found in the feeder list. M/s HPCL has
confirmed that it is a typographical error.

10.

All are Draw hut feeders of MCC can either be Single or Double front
execution. Its upto the vendor to choose either taking care of the space
constraint mention in the tender specification

11.

Bus VT and Line PT can be either Draw hut type or fixed type and Control
Transformer is confirmed as Fixed type

12.

Vendor asked M/s HPCL about the number of relays to be provided for
achieving Auto changeover/Manual/Independent mechanism for boards
PMCC-301(LRS-3) and PMCC-MSS-5. M/s. HPCL confirmed that is upto
the vendor to decide the number of relays with the fact that the protection
shall be as per the numerical relay specification and as per the standard
specification.

Load Managers (Energy Meter) is not required for monitoring analog

Parameters and Monitoring of all analog parameters shall be provided through
IEC-61850 relay.
List of additional digital inputs and analog inputs to be considered as follows.
Digital Inputs : 1 NO for each motor
Analog Input : 1 for Y Phase Current
Following communication protocol shall be provided in SAS,
From PMCC/MCC relay to Data concentrator/RTU
: IEC 61850
From less than 55KW motor feeder to Data concentrator/RTU : MODBUS
TCP/IP
From Data Concentrator/RTU to HMI : Vendor to select the communication
protocol with time stamping requirement with resolution as per specification
attached with tender.
From Data Concentrator/RTU to DCS Communication Link : MODBUS
RTU (Redundant or non redundant) HPCL confirmed that it should be NonRedundant
Supply and termination of required cabling from switchgears to data
concentrator for relay is under vendors Scope of supply. However cable
laying is in HPCL scope under vendors engineer supervision.
IEC-61850 compliant Ethernet switch shall be provided inside switchgear. All
the numerical relay and meters should be connected to the above Ethernet
switch in Ring Topology
IEC-61850 Ethernet switch have redundant power supply unit and have
redundant communication link to data concentrator/RTU
Vendor has not considered printer in the SAS. Laptop with latest configuration
is to be supplied for relay setting.
Suitable provision should be available at Data Concentrator/RTU to terminate
master GPS clock time synch signal. Vendor to decide on the protocol to be
used.
Following parameters should be display at HMI from each numerical relays,
Three Phase Current
Three Phase Voltage
Frequency
Active Power
Energy Power Consumption
Motor & Feeder Status
Necessary furniture required to mount 21 TFT (in vendors scope of supply)
shall be provided. This shall include 1 no. chair, PC table with withdrawable
key board tray, drawer.
All events, alarm, trends shall be displayed with time stamp. Time
synchronization shall be ensured within entire family of products through GPS
master clock.
